CHICAGO – MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) was on scene for today’s official “UFC on FOX: Johnson vs. Dodson” weigh-ins, where all 22 competitors successfully made weight for Saturday’s card.

Main-event flyweight fighters Demetrious Johnson (16-2-1 MMA, 4-1-1 UFC) and John Dodson (14-5 MMA, 3-0 UFC) each came in on target for their main event title fight, in which Johnson puts his belt on the line for the first time since winning it in September to become the company’s first flyweight champ.

Johnson (125) is a former bantamweight title challenger who dropped down to flyweight when the UFC introduced the weight class. Dodson (124) won Season 14 of “The Ultimate Fighter” at bantamweight before immediately dropping back to his natural weight class of 125 pounds.

The co-main event features what is expected to be the final UFC fight for former light heavyweight champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson (32-10 MMA, 7-4 UFC), who meets Glover Teixeira (19-2 MMA, 2-0 UFC), who is nearly a 3-to-1 favorite in the fight. In his most recent fight before Saturday’s fight with Teixeira, Jackson missed weight for his fight with Ryan Bader at UFC 144 thanks to complications from an injury. But Friday, he was a pound under the limit at 204. Teixeira came in at 206. The two engaged in a terse face-off and ultimately were separated by UFC President Dana White before things could escalate.

A pair of crucial potential top contender bouts take place on the main card. To open the FOX-televised proceedings, Erik Koch (13-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) and Ricardo Lamas (12-2 MMA, 3-0 UFC) meet in a fight that could determine the next featherweight title challenger to either champ Jose Aldo or Frankie Edgar, who fight next week in Las Vegas. Koch (145), from nearby Milwaukee, and Lamas (145), who hails from the Chicago suburbs, each came in on target. And former WEC standouts Donald Cerrone (19-4 MMA, 6-1 UFC) and Anthony Pettis (15-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) finally meet in a highly anticipated lightweight clash. The winner stays in the hunt for the 155-pound title, while the loser goes back a few spots in line. Cerrone (155) and Pettis (155), also from Milwaukee, each came in on the button.

Friday’s event took place at the historic Chicago Theatre in downtown Chicago. Saturday’s show takes place at United Center, the home of the Chicago Bulls and Blackhawks, with a main card airing on FOX (8 p.m. ET) following prelims on FX (5 p.m.) and Facebook (4:30 p.m.).

A total of 26 fighters got their chance to shine on Saturday as part of UFC 190 at Rio de Janeiro’s HSBC Arena. Now that UFC 190 is in the books, it’s time to commence MMAjunkie’s “Three Stars” ceremony.

The man known for cranking submissions to the point of injury added eye-gouging to his repertoire. But is the controversy of Rousimar Palhares too essential to his bizarre, awful appeal for his employers to take any meaningful action against him?
